I've been analyzing a recurring "bug report" (perf issue) in one of our systems related to a particularly slow delete operation. Long story short: It seems that the CASCADE DELETE keys were largely responsible, and I'd like to know (a) if this makes sense, and (b) why it's the case. We have a schema of, let's say, widgets, those being ...
I have a hierarchy, like an ProductDimension hierarchy. Currently, I query this table using the Nested Sets methodology. I write the usual star-schema joins to get a time-series report of groups of Products (Batches, CountryOfOrigin, ProductLine, etc.). I'm currently investigating using SSAS cubes- but can a cube model this? Are ther...

We are in the process of moving databases from older 32 bit hardware running sql 2005 to newer hardware with sql 2008 64 bit. My question is if the database is automatically converted to 64bit after it is reattached on the new server or if it is running in 32bit mode on a 64bit instance. Is there a way to tell? ...

I have a column in my table (“primary_duplicate”) to record each entry as ‘P’ (primary) or ‘D’ (duplicate). I would like to provide a Default Binding for...

Using SQL Server 2008, is there a way to allow inserts to a table only via a stored procedure, and if so how? EDIT: The best way to go is probably Martin Smith's suggestion to use an INSTEAD OF INSERT trigger. The direct answer to this question is marc_s' one with GRANT and DENY, though it won't limit some user accounts. ...
I have 2 large databases that were sharded before. I now have removed the sharding and have created a new database with all of the data except for the tables that were originally sharded. Is it worth importing this data into the new database, or keeping them as seperate entities that I can just scan through? We are talking around 60mi...

I have the following query, now the strange thing is if I run this query on my development and pre-prod server it runs fine. If I run it on production it fails. I have figured out that if I run just the Select statement its happy but as soon as I try insert into the table variable it complains. DECLARE @RESULTS TABLE ( [Paren...
I'm sure this has been asked, but search isn't returning the answer. In a stored procedure, how do I get the value of the user/login that called the stored procedure (name?), assuming I don't already have server_user_id ...

Sql server 2005 (even 2008) strips the insignificant whitespaces by default. To keep one can use the CONVERT funtction with the last argument as '1' (Ref. Article). How can we do the same thing in Entity Framework? thanks ...
In Microsoft SQL 2008 Enterprise manager, when you right click a table to open it the option only grabs the first 1000 rows. Same thing with an edit except it limits the result to 200 rows. Is there a way to increase this in the context menu? I know I change the SQL once it loads, but I'd like to set the default value myself so I don't h...
